Left-Wing Communism: An Infantile Disorder (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781684222179)

2018 Reprint of 1920 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition. Not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. With this now-classic work, Lenin aimed to encapsulate the lessons the Bolshevik Party had learned from its involvement in three revolutions in 12 years--in a manner that European Communists could relate to, for it was to them he was speaking. He also further develops the theory of what the "dictatorship of the proletariat" means and stresses that the primary danger for the working-class movement in general is opportunism on the one hand, and anti-Marxist ultraleftism on the other.
